To be honest you really shouldn't, and I should not have done it ether because it somehow supports people who take the Muppet Whatnots and does some pretty vilonet things with them. What really makes me mad is that they have the guts to put Jim Henson's name on it.

Guys I wantedc to stop by this thread and let ya know about a few things I heard round.

Soon they will begin facial hair,
there wil be a change to the lab coat, sounds like they will be looking into outfits that are more occupational.
If you haven't noticed the pattern for the hawaiin shirt has changed.
No new noses, or eyes are being introduced.
There has been talk about introducing a muppet whatnot. It's not known right now whether that will be a limited time offer, but it will most likely be started around Halloween 2009.

Incidentally, I met a very nice woman in the store last week whose mother is largely responsible for the Muppet Whatnot concept and appeared with DL Hughley on his CNN Christmas show when he made his own Whatnot at Manhattan's FAO. She's was the nice lady shrugging off some of his crude but harmless remarks. We had a nice chat while I clumsily tried to wrap her Loter print. (By the way, if you're out there somewhere - if or when you return to the store you'll get a sweet store discount any time I'm there or if you state who you are to my boss.)

I never would have known about her Whatnot connection had FAO's site not blared the Kermit video before I had a chance to mute the sound. The first time web noise has been beneficial.

Geez, it's huge! And the box it came in was larger! He's pretty easy to manage, but my only problem the large abundance of stuffing in the head. It's kind of hard to get your hand in there. But, he's pretty easy to puppeteer. Plus, the arm rod is a bit tricky to get out and back in. But, he's still cool anyway!

That's all she said. I imagine it would be something along the lines of furry like a telly, or... wow the name of the main Muppet monster that I'm thinking of totally slipped my mind. I would have known the name 25 years ago like a drop in the hat, but now I can't. He's blue, furry, not cookie or grover, I think he had a purple nose, ****. Sorry. But I assume it would be something that didn't have a distinctive human quality. Something with wierd noses like the honkers? Who knows. All the woman said was there was talk of them possibly doing a monster around halloween time. She didn't know if it would be a limited time thing or not.

hmmmmm......Where is the store in New York? I'm in Canada and they won't ship to me, but I am now thinking of a road trip down there.....Or I could get it shipped to folks I know in USA.....but a road trip sounds more fun.
